Yank Philadelphia's downtown from the list, and list would be just fine. I was just in Downtown Philadelphia. It's not even the top 100 best in the world. Have you been to Philadelphia. I gather that you're from another country and may not know everything.
Wow! Now that is energy. I had no idea Sydney was that lively
It doesn't match Philly's downtown dynamic at all. No history, no substance and not much character as Downtown Philly has. It's semi sterile. Sydney is not center of its residents' life as Philly's Center City is. No comparison
Sydney's CBD is just an office park with some housing. There are few museums and several theaters. It has shopping downtown for tourists/workers alike, mostly clustered on Pitt St. Mall. That's about it.
Soooo confusing to navigate though.
Manhattans simple grid pattern is very easy to navigate and the nice wide straight avenues make the city look very large and powerful looking with the 'skyscraper canyons'
There's usually no need to navigate through the smaller streets, and if you live there, you remember them anyway. That tiny narrow street first posted by nei - if you end up there, you probably knew about it already.
